Winter Track has commenced! We have a big, awesome group of distance runners. I don’t know some of you so in the upcoming weeks I am very excited to chat and get to know you! Many runners have approached me saying they want to improve and run faster this year. That makes me very happy. We will run fast, and will have a lot of fun! A few things: 1) you must turn in your paperwork to your head coach (Hunter or Jensen). Starting Monday, Nov. 27, you will not be allowed to practice without it. 2) Winter Track info can be found in three places: a) General Winter Track info is HERE, b) Winter Track schedules are HERE, and c) the Winter Track Training Cycle #1 is HERE. I am finishing up the training cycle — I have a few questions out to coaching colleagues — but the upcoming days are complete. It will cover several weeks, I will finish it ASAP. 3) If you have questions or concerns, please communicate with me. We can start with email — harryscottgreen@gmail.com — and if you want to talk we will arrange a time to talk in person or on the phone. 4) Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Be safe, have fun, and please do the prescribed runs/workouts. Thank you. Go Fords.

Thank you to everyone in the HXC community for an incredible season. We have an outstanding group of student-athletes and parents. The teams ran tough and fast at the District 1 meet — results are HERE — and a special congratulations to Michael Donnelly for qualifying for the PIAA State XC meet. Our team banquet was also a success – thanks once again to our ever-helpful parents and student-athletes. We know the banquet was too long and we will shorten it for 2018 while still spotlighting every individual, which is essential. Congratulations also to our team captains for 2018: Nora Derbyshire, Rachel Woodman, Victoria DiMatteo, Brian Walheim, Aiden Tomov, and Brendan Campbell. Big Thank You to Abby Brown for the video above. Be sure to check out our Instagram page for more groovy photos and video! Go Fords.
